Two words regarding the McCain volunteer attacked in Pittsburgh:

[geek tragedy]

Phil fucking Parlock.

8. Urban Dictionary reference:

1. parlock 11 up, 5 down love ithate it

To scam someone by deliberately causing a scene in which you appear to be a victim.

Named after republican activist Phil Parlock, who, with his children, had protest signs ripped up at democratic rallies in 2004, 2000, and 1996 - each time with the same AP photographer positioned to take photos as it happened.
I didn't realise he was an activist, I was totally Parlocked!

16. I know what it means it was a lame attempt at bringing in some Daily

Show humor.

2. But That Is Three Words, Sir....

[geek tragedy]

3. Have you seen the work of cinema titled "Midnight Run?"

In this film, Mr. Deniro spoke this line to Mr. Grodin: "I got two words for you: shut the fuck up."

[The Magistrate]

6. No, Sir. But That Is Four Words....

Just being impish....

[geek tragedy]

11. I believe irony was the point. Mr. Deniro

was not impish in that film, however--but Mr. Grodin was.

[The Magistrate]

12. Ah, Well, Sir: If It Was Ironic, Then That Is A Completely Different Story...

[geek tragedy]

13. Midnight Run was a comedy, so I presume the irony was intended. n/t

15. LOL...

:rofl:

4. She supposedly is from Texas - does anyone know why she is

in Pittsburgh? This may seem trivial but if it is a calculated political trick, that might be significant...

[The Magistrate]

10. They Shuffle The College Volunteers Around, Ma'am

[Duncan Grant]

5. I haven't thought about him since 2004.

Sounds like his work, doesn't it? I'm going to have to search for those old threads; I think DU had a role in exposing one of his scams.

[Duncan Grant]

14. Found the thread from 2004.

Those were the days...

17. Speaking of which... Hey look! It's Phil!

Apparently, he's upholding those republican family values by leaving his kids and wife for a newer model.
